Another Day in Paradise

Actually, this is paradise. Another sunny, light breeze, warm day on the lake. It’s nice.

Today we are supposed to go to Waterville. Probably have a nice lunch. Emily wants to look at sofa beds. Maybe go to Modern Underground which sells retro furniture and housewares. Nice place. Maybe we can hit Giffords.

Right now we have had breakfast and coffee and are taking turns in the bathroom. I’m next.

Takes awhile to get moving when on vacay cuz we have nothing that has a strict time to start.

Finally. 1pm and we are headed out to lunch. Dan just got back from fish market with lobster and shrimp for the risotto he is making tonight.

We have been sitting around doing laundry, sitting around waiting for all to be done with morning ablutions. We only have one toilet and shower. Dan is entertaining. IMG_2531

Still sitting around at 1130 getting ready for our day. We move SLOW.

Went to Big G’s deli in Winslow. The best deli in Maine, or so says their sign. The sandwiches are huge, you have to share them. I wish I had taken a picture. The cookies they make are the size of small pizzas. Great place for you to visit next time you are in Central Maine.

No trip to Waterville is complete till you go to Marden’s for discount retail shopping. So we went there. We ran out of time for other activities. We had to get home early enough for Dan to make his lobster risotto. We are having friends for dinner tonight. No fava beans. No Chianti.

So here we sit doing the Maine thing

Dinner is done. A little entertainment before Dan is too drunk to play. IMG_2534

So now we sit around after dinner. Full and half drunk. Solving the world’s problems. Truly the end to a full day. Very nice.

Still waiting on dessert which is rhubarb on ice cream. Soon I hope, the level of discussion and volume is driving me crazy.

Maybe we can finish our game of hearts later. I was winning.
